Mario Coming to ‘Minecraft: Wii U Edition’ May 18th!

An incredible collaboration is taking place as Nintendo and Microsoft are partnering together with Mojang to bring the awesome retro goodness of Super Mario and Minecraft together.

Nintendo has announced that a Super Mario Mash-Up Pack is set to hit as an exclusive free game update to the Minecraft: Wii U Edition. Fans will, for the first time ever, be able to defend themselves against iconic Mario enemies like Hammer Bros. and Dry Bones the same way they do Creepers and Zombies.

The update comes to owners of the Minecraft: Wii U Edition digital game which launched last December and will give players immediate access to new content including a Super Mario themed pre-made world, a set of Super Mario-themed music and item textures all inspired by awesome games from the Mario series like Super Mario World, Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.
